Doing dry Jan but really thinking about going sober for real. I don’t drink often but when I do I end up binging, never want to go home and a lot of time blacking out. Struggling with internal monologue cause on one hand I’m like I can have a glass of wine for dinner and be fine, I don’t drink that often but then I remember the nights out and it gets really dark. Not sure if moderating would work for me or if it would just give me a false sense of control. Anyone have similar experience?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Science and art are completely intertwined as I see it; color theory, composition, and balance all coming together to create a cohesive whole. Thoughts?

Anyone willing to share what WLB looks like at some of the large CROs?

Folks can someone share recommendations for a trusted movers and packers to move from Chicago to Bay Area?

I am 10 months sober today. I am very grateful to be part of this family.

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

Some good advice from my sponsor as I go into this stressful week:

- Invite your Higher Power into the meetings with you
- Be your authentic self
- Be there to help others

Anyone addicted to smoking hookah here? I’ve relapsed recently and had been sober for about 3 years. Looking to hear anyone else’s path to sobriety.

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

My sister is turning 30 in rehab this week, and I want to send her a birthday gift that she'll appreciate, but also that might be helpful to her as she transitions into a new sober life.

Any recommendations?

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

not alcohol/drugs related but more so to do with p*rn addiction. i have struggled for years with this and I am currently making a lot of progress. I started to make real progress once I started telling people (fiance, counsellor, pastor, etc).

I really don't think it should just be considered a religious thing since it effects the brain a lot and can obviously hurt your relationship. Wanted to see if others also struggle with this and are open to sharing.

For everyone in recovery, please reach out and stay in touch with your people. Isolation is a killer.

I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

1 week sober! Over the last 12 years (I’m early 30s) I’ve reached this point just a handful of times. Alcohol is deeply intertwined into my social life much like everyone’s is I imagine. Feeling clear minded and energized. Want to stay clean for my own mental and physical health and for the benefit of my wife and children. Just starting this journey so thank you in advance to this community as I’m ready to learn from you all and be a part. Let’s go!

What happens if a employee discloses his performance has suffered because corona virus got him depressed and he’s been drinking?

What are some hot and cold drinks to replace alcohol? I like hard cider with Fireball, cabernet, chardonay, and craft beers but want to treat myself after a hard day with something less destructive.

Have been sober for many years but currently relapsed and am in a downward spiral. I’m close to losing my family but I can’t seem to get my head together. Feel like I need a few months out, maybe take some time off work… has anyone done similar and did it help?

How do you know when dependence turns into addiction? Where’s the line?

Have any 🐠 out here pre-ordered, “Quit Like a Woman?” I’m excited to read it. I subscribe to Tempest and Love Sober and Soberistas.

Anyone have a friend or family member suffer from liver damage / failure? Not sure how or what to do to help someone with the problem.

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.

By chance anyone needs it this Sunday. Don’t punish yourself for the things done whilst drunk. Chemically you are not the same person, your whole brain is altered, who could expect for it to make the same decisions. And Alan Carr is the book I always go back to - remember every time it gets easier because you know what to do and you learn!
